Domain Name Registration

The first step to launching your website is registering a domain name. Deciding on a domain name is an important step for any business about to establish an online presence. Be aware that a lot of domain names have already been taken, so don't be surprised if your first choice is long gone. When you begin contemplating a domain name, keep in mind the following considerations:

• The name should be easy to remember;
• If you have a descriptive name that includes your product or service, it will help you with the search engines;
• Don't make the name too long... it increases the likelihood of a typing mistake;

If the domain is available for registration, you will be given the option to reserve it under your name. In general you will be providing them the name of your domain name and information about youself(your name, company name, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail, your provider's DNS and so on). A .com, .net, .org, .us and others addresses presently cost about $8.95 a year. Registrant may offer a discount if you register for more than 1 year.

How to register a domain name with your hosting provider?

Registering a domain name may take a few days.

1. You will need to provide to your hosting company domain name who will assign you an IP address, and add your domain name to their domain name servers (DNS).
2. Once you have identified a provider, you will need to provide their DNS (at least two) to your domain registrar who manage domain name registrations.
